When the world feels cold, join us in warmth.
PhilHarmonia’s annual concert “Winter Spirits: Together Through the Years” combines food, drink, and music to herald the holiday season. Like the featured selections of wines and beers, we will also share a variety of songs and styles from around the world such as Venetian Baroque polyphony by Gabrieli, carols from Nigeria and Ukraine, works by Johann Sebastian Bach, Michael Praetorius, and contemporary American composer, Morten Lauridsen. Spicing up the program will be our special guests, Philadelphia’s “After The Bar” (on December 12th) and West Chester’s “A Cappella Pops” (on December 14th).
So let’s gather together once more for Winter Spirits and share the beauty, hope and joy of this season, together!
